• Due to the nature of the radio frequency waves, a wireless device may have significantly different signal strengths if its position changes relative to another wireless device or if its environment changes. If a ZFR1810 Coordinator shows poor signal strength, you can improve the signal strength by moving the device’s antenna a couple of inches in either horizontal direction.

Tabs (4)

Line-of-sight transmission ranges between a ZFR1810 Coordinator, ZFR1811 Router, and/or a WRZ Series Sensor can be less than the maximum distances shown in Table 1. The effective transmission range for indoor applications varies because of wireless signal absorption and reflection due to metal obstructions, walls (or floors), and furniture found in typical building interiors. The effective transmission range for outdoor applications varies based on environmental conditions.
